I would go about this in a different way. If you are making a pdf file from 
the page contents there are several choices to do this.

1. You could actually copy and paste into Open Office and export the file to 
PDF.
2. A lot depends on the content of the Html file its length for doing the 
following: To screen shot at full screen and the then use another screen 
capture programme to cut down the size of the saved file preferably as a jpg 
and then to copy it into Open Office. Either way a bit messy. PDFediit is quite 
good indeed and using Wine any of the others such as Nitro PDF and Snagit as a 
capture programme. An actual way of playing around with pictures is to use a 
Windows Programme like Paint Shop Pro in Wine.

Erm...  I tried this on Ubuntu-jaunty.  I.e. printing the same HTML-page
from epiphany results in a PS/PDF file which is text-searchable; doing this
from gnome-web-photo seems to result in a PS/PDF which contains rasterised
pixel data only.  Shouldn't both programs use the same printing engine/lib?
